📖 Story comment: Good pace, likeable characters, great world building.
As i’m getting older I find I’m enjoying stories with more mature characters. Having both MC’s in their 40’s with a lifetime of experiences, world weary and worn thin around the edges was refreshing, especially for a fantasy. The worldbuilding was colourful, well constructed and vivid in details – far from the usual ‘bright and shiny’ world of magic where everything is perfect, Seducing the Sorcerer was storm clouds and rain, where what you see isn’t necessarily what you get – I was absolutely delighted.
🎧 Narrator comment: Joel Leslie doing what he does best, nailed the characters and their personalities and bought the story to life. Overall an enjoyable performance that I will be happy to revisit again.
